Me Time

Today,

I woke up feeling like

I needed some

Me Time

more than ever.


Honestly.


My

adult

children

are driving me

absolutely crazy.


I mean,

I love them

~

of course,

I do.


But right now?


I’m not even sure

I like them anymore.


There,

I said it. 🤷🏾‍♀️


It’s funny how

nobody really talks

about this part of life.


The part

where the kids you raised

grow up,

and instead of

finding peace and freedom,

you’re stuck

juggling their problems.


It’s exhausting.


Back when

they were little,

at least

I could send

them to their room

for a moment

of silence.


Now?


They don’t even

leave my house sometimes,

let alone

leave me alone.


Claiming My Peace


I’ve been thinking

a lot

about

the kind of life

I want

for myself

now.


God has blessed me

with so much

through the years,

and

I just want

to use

that to find peace.


I’m at a stage

where I want to live

my life

as contently as possible.


That means

setting boundaries,

taking breaks,

and claiming time

for myself.


Time to breathe.

Time to think.


Time

to simply

be

without feeling like

I’m on call

24/7.


I’m realizing

that this

isn’t selfish.


It’s necessary.


If I

don’t make time

for me,

then no one else will.


And the truth is,

pouring into myself

is the only way

I can show up

for the people I love.


I can’t keep

running on empty,

and

I won’t let myself.


My Projects:

Reina’s Search🔎

and

More


One thing

I’m focusing on right now

is my project,


It’s been

on my heart

for years,

and I’m finally

giving it

the attention it deserves.


I want to build

something meaningful

with it

~

something that brings me joy

and fulfillment.


Writing my books,

brainstorming ideas,

and

working on

It all feels like

a way

to take my life back.


To pour

into my passions

and

dreams

instead of

everyone else’s needs.


And let’s be real

~ I wouldn’t mind

finding a little time

to exercise,

eat right,

and maybe even

fall in love again.


That last one?

Eh, we’ll see.


But a girl can dream,

right?


Choosing Myself


So,

today,

I’m doing something


I don’t do often enough:


I’m choosing me.


I’m stepping back,

taking some time

to relax,

and letting my kids

figure out their own stuff

for once.


Mama is officially off-duty.


And if that makes me selfish?

Oh well.


I’m claiming

my peace today.

I’m putting my energy

into writing,

creating,

and

working on


I’m

making space

for

the things

I love

because

I deserve that.

And honestly?

So do you.


If you’re

feeling drained,

overextended,

or

just plain tired,

this is your sign

to step back

and

take your own

Me Time.


You don’t owe anyone

an explanation

for putting yourself first.


Here’s to

quiet moments,

personal dreams,

and

peace of mind.


For me,

for you,

for all of us who need it.


Reina Dee🌿
